You had me going there Andy, unless the Busters web site has not been updated as yet. I need a pair of tyres and thought my prayers had been answered, but a pair of Diablos are still about £180 on Busters web-site as of this morning. Have you any more details???

Whoops ..... spelling error ..... sorry
What I meant was Demon Tweeks ... it was a flyer in this weeks MCN.
I did get one from Busters this week and must have got a bit mixed up .... old age and all that

Just rung them, they only had 15 pairs so unsurprisingly they have all been sold, good heads up though, cheers M8

thanks F9 very informative, thats why i use masking tape on my wheel rims, no scratching

actually just done it and it went in a breeze, the honda on the otherhand is a pita
bty my rear M1 sportec cost £110 fitted and balanced, you may buy cheaper mail order, but it then costs to have the tyre mounted and balanced.

Must have been a good day for it, that what I've been doing today, also changed the rear pads as they were almost down to the metal!
I put on a Dunlop Qualifier if anyones interested, £105 all in.

50Nm is for the sprocket to sprocket holder bolts (although the workshop manual doesn't state that the bolts require any form of threadlock).
torque is correct at 50Nm, the manual does however specify loctite 243 on the bolt and "anti sieze" read coppaslip, on the pinion splines, page 284 section 7-79-00 of the blagged manual on the Danish web site, cant remember his name, martin poll i think, refers
Interesting - 2002 RSV-R workshop manual states in both the torque specification sections and also in section 7.3.18 that no threadlock is required. I doubt it would hurt to stick a bit on.

And of course the reason for the difference was that I was talking about the rear sprocket not the front sprocket.... doh my bad.
